Fletcher May Run for Congress Sparks Panhandle Talk
District Attorney Lloyd Fletcher, serving a second term, is repeatedly cited as a possible candidate for Congress from the 18th district. Friends say he will not seek re election as district attorney and his wife, Mrs Fletcher, a strong speaker and reader, may help his campaign if he runs. Amarillo residents note Mrs Fletcher spoke for the Democratic National Committee last year and, if she enters, opponent for Congressman Marvin Jones would arise as Jones seeks another term. Across West Texas, opposition to several incumbents is anticipated with talk of Judge Sartin from Wichita Falls and Col R Q Lee of Cisco as possible candidates as district boundaries shift and party dynamics shape next year’s races.

Automobile Dealers Press Tax Committee On Car Levy Refund
Automobile dealers urge the House Ways and Means Committee to reverse a provision in the tax reduction bill that would refund the reduction noted in the passenger car tax for cars on hand when enacted. Dealers warn the retroactive change would prevent passing the savings to consumers and seek removal of that clause. The measure, ordered reported last week, faces revision by a sub committee before final drafting. The House aims to take up the bill early in the session with plans to dispose of it within two weeks.
